• "Another great week at Peg's Cottage, shared this time with friends."

  They were both very impressed with the location, comfort and facilities in the cottage. I would not hesitate in recommending Peg's to anyone wishing to explore this beautiful area of Cornwall. One very small point. The door to the twin bedroom does not shut properly. I had not noticed this on previous visits.

• "Lovely cottage, parking inconvenient, superb bed linen and towels."

  Rather difficult to to work but lots of dvds so we happily watched those in the evening. Lovely quiet spot apart from the seagulls !! Fay Evans

• "A delightful stay."

  Cottage was clean to an excellent standard and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. The location was ideal. The perfect base for exploring the area by foot or car. We would happily recommend Pegs to any family and friends and hope we get to stay there again. Thankyou

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pegs cottage with our two children."

  Situated just a few metres away from the steps down to the beach, the sound of the waves was a constant and lovely addition. The cottage has great amenities, especially in the kitchen, and the bathroom looks new, along with the excellent shower. The beds were clean and very comfy, and the decor upstairs was fresh and bright. The downstairs area is quirky and charming, with many books on Cornwall and the local area. The welcome pack, toiletries and towels were much appreciated, and all in all we had a wonderful and very memorable stay.

• "The location was very nice and the cottage was comfortable."

  It could do with some updating and general maintenance however, also replacing the dining chairs. One was very wobbly so we opted not to use it. Cleanliness of the kitchen and utensils was quite not as expected and we had to bleach and wash the mugs before use & wipe down the draining board. Pegs could be a great cottage with some extra TLC.

• "This place is by far the best and loveliest place we’ve stayed in all our years travelling down from the Midlands."

  We had everything we needed and the feel of the cottage is cosy and warm. Absolutely gorgeous location too! Felt like home away from home and our nearby family who popped in couldn’t stop saying how amazing it was too. The only thing we would comment on is some of the cleanliness, such as hoovering behind the sofa, dusting the radiator grate in the lounge/top of the stairs, and we only had one toilet roll (not expecting this for the whole week but two would have been better than one) Thank you so much for letting us stay and we will definitely be back!

  The safety non slip mat for the bath was pretty grim but everything else seemed perfectly clean. Loved being able to go to sleep listening to the sound of the sea. Issue with key safe resolved very quickly

  Bathroom could do with a new bath mat and new sealant around bath. Well equipped and homely with very comfortable beds. We have already booked for next year.

• "We’ve stayed at this property nearly very year for at least 20 years."

  We’ve always been generally pleased by its location, style, suroundings and some improvements made over the years. The last years we stayed at this cottage were in 2019-2020-2022 (the UK was «forbidden » to foreigners in 2021). On several occasions we made remarks about the state of the fridge (water inside because of melting ice). It hasn’t changed. This year, some metal parts on the garden chairs broke on our 2nd and 3rd days.because of the rust. I phoned your company and was told nothing could be done immediately. The other two garden chairs were in such a bad and old state that it was risky just to sit on them. So we stayed 2 weeks at this cottage without any garden chair. If we stay there next year, I just hope things will have changed.

• "We had a lovely stay in Pegs despite the unsettled weather."

  Pegs was a lovely place to hang out when it was wet. The position near the town and coastal path was great. The cottage was extremely well equipped. The bed was super comfortable. Only slight downside was the stairs are very steep and narrow.

• "This was our first holiday away since covid and we booked on impulse because there was a last minute reduction - so glad we did."

  .We loved the cottage! It was comfortable, stylish and thoughtfully equipped and we felt at home immediately. The position is fabulous and we had the most extraordinary sunsets. The local people are so welcoming and friendly and we were offered lobster and mackerel from two of our neighbours. There was a lovely welcome pack of wine, flowers, a cream tea and shortbread when we arrived. We really didn't want to leave and I am sure we'll be back. We didn't find parking a problem. The Shrubberies car park is a short walk away, beside the Atlantic Inn and across a field. We had a brilliant week exploring all our favourite haunts on the Lizard.

• "Nice cottage, well equiped and comfortable."

  Partial sea view from the cottage, but only a few steps from the full view, and a bench overlooking the sea and views down to the Lizard. Easy 10 minute walk into the harbour with its shops, two pubs, cafes and resteraunts. Good location as a base and to explore the area. Our 2nd stay and we would use this cottage again.

• "We were disappointed to find that the WiFi was a BT setup that, for non BT subscribers, charged £19."

  99 for 5 days and £1.99 per extra day. We've never encountered that before. We didn't pay. Whilst we were able able to use Data for general traffic, we couldn't use our tablets. On that basis I will be cautious about future bookings. A pity.

  Thank you for your feedback we do not charge for Wifi and wouldn't expect our guest to pay. We are wondering if you picked up a second signal from a BT area Wifi. I am sorry if you miss understand the instructions. Property Owner

  Partial sea views and just a quick walk down steps to the beach. Situated just 10 minutes walk from the beautiful harbour of Porthleven with a selection of bars, cafes and restaurants with gluten free available. Also Pengelly’s, a well stocked local Supermarket. For gluten free fish and chips, try Fraser’s in nearby Helston. The cottage is well situated for visiting the lizard, lands end, st Ives and many other beautiful places in West Cornwall.

  E lamps, television etc before guests arrive. And more importantly that the key box is working, fortunately a neighbour assisted us!! However, we had a great stay in Porthleven. Have to say that advising that the cottage has sea views is pushing it a little!!

  Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear your experienced a few issues. I can see you contacted us and these were fixed during your stay. We will pass your comments onto the cleaners to ensure all electrical items are checked during the changeover. Property Owner

  Parking fine albeit not outside property. Property was clean and a well kitted out with dishwasher & washing machine. Lovely shower and private patio was lovely for evening drinks. The views from the property are outstanding! The owner should get the TV working as previous bookers and ourselves couldn't get to work and after a busy day out in sightseeing in the sunshine, some downtime TV would have been nice for kids before bed

• "The parking situation is awful."

  We had to carry our luggage and shopping quite a distance. It is unfortunate that the cottage is so inaccessible but can’t be helped. The directions are not very clear and we didn’t spot the small footpath as it was screened by parked cars for the other cottages. We went along Mounts Road, as directed, but had then to reverse all the way back as it is not a through road. The cottage was comfortable but rather dark and very steep stairs with a danger of banging one’s head coming down (and we are not tall). The welcome pack was lovely and the whole place was very clean and reasonably equipped. There is a cupboard under the stairs which is blocked off by a sideboard and fire extinguisher. It seems that any cleaning and laundry equipment is in there but not accessible! Funnily enough, considering the name of the cottage, we had to buy clothes-pegs before we could hang out some towels! We certainly will not book it again.

• "We’ve been staying at this cottage every summer for nearly 20 years and after several improvements over many years, the standard isn’t as good now : no change of sheets or linen even though we stayed two weeks; garden furniture not as comfortable as the previous seats (one even broke), lack of comfort of mattresses in single beds room, lack of outside space because of huge garden « box » with about a dozen cacti plants, no bath carpet, just a few hangers for 4 guests (we left those for children’s clothes after buying some items for family)."

  In the kitchen, basic equipment not renewed : one oven dish (when there used to be several), no more cups (only mugs), ONLY TWO TEA SPOONS (we bought some, but took them with us). After last year’s stay, we mentioned that the fridge needed checking regularly (too much ice which prevented door from closing properly). This wasn’t done. When arriving at the cottage, over the years, we used to have a bottle of wine, flowers, scones, clotted cream (even tea sometimes): this year, only a bottle of wine. The price was increased and the alibi of Covid meant we had to arrive later, which meant a small part of the first day. I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but we were slightly disappointed this year. Best regards. Patrick CURTAUD

  The house is well equipped with everything that you will need. We were there during Storm Ciara and were warm and snug throughout, which when you consider how close it is to the beach is pretty good. Parking is a bit of a faff but that's only to be expected in a small Cornish fishing village.

  The bath room could do with some 're tileing, although the shower was very good. We struggled with the steep staircase. Parking was ok out of season, but could see it would be a problem in busy times.

• "A few remarks regarding the basic equipmentt of the cottage : lack of tea spoons, no oven mit, the pimmer was not working (broken because very old, we have been in this cottage many times before)."

  One of the garden armchairs was not usable (material torn because very old). The draining grill in the garden was full of rubbish and we had to clean it because water from the sink, washing-machine and dishwasher went into the garden. Finally, I had to call three times at the end of our first week (between the Thursday and Saturday) to know when new towels were going to be brought. Apart from those details, everything else was fine. We missed the bottle of wine and the flowers on arrival.

• "Loved the cottage, great sea views and it had everything you could expect."

  Porthleven is a lovely little town. Our 'constructive criticisms' - All the waste bins had not been emptied when we arrived so that had to be one of our first jobs. Also the granite wall behind the sofa kept 'dropping' dust and particles so the floor in that area was very dusty. These things did not spoil our holiday but worth mentioning I think and for this reason perhaps best not to publish my comments but give the property owner a chance to amend for future lets.
